From High School To Broadcasting School

Some people take years to decide what their true career path in life is going to be, but not you. If you're forgoing the usual university degree, community college experience, or entry-level job that most of the people you know are going for in favor of embarking on your dream career of being a DJ, congratulations! You're already steps ahead of most of your peers, and now you have a way to get even closer to your goal without throwing away tens of thousands of dollars and years of your life. For you, the answer is broadcasting school!

Unlike applying to a traditional college, broadcasting school doesn't require a picture-perfect GPA or expensive entrance exams, and you won't have to wait months and months just to find out if you're accepted. The broadcasting school process starts with a simple phone call! By calling 1-888-76RADIO, you can reach a Broadcaster's Training Network representative who can help you begin the process that will ultimately lead you to the apprenticeship you need to get ahead in the radio world. Once you've interviewed and established your goals, the set-up process to get you paired with a mentor takes an average of just two to three weeks. Sounds a lot better than SATs and begging for letters of recommendation, right?

While your friends are starting their new jobs at the mall food court or spending hundreds of dollars on new books for college, you could be taking a relaxing few weeks off while you wait for BTN to work for you, finding the perfect mentor for you to work with in broadcasting school. If you're raring to move out of your parents' house, now might even be the time to get a part-time job yourself to make some extra money to get you there, or even just to give you something to do during the day.

Since broadcasting school can be completed in six months, you can get a full-time job to keep you busy when you're not working with your mentor — if retail or food service doesn't sound like the best time to you, consider signing up with a temp agency that can place you in short-time labor or office positions to keep you busy and give some variety to your routine. Since broadcasting school offers a flexible schedule based on when you and your mentor are both available, it's easy to hold down a full-time job while still attending regular broadcasting school sessions. It won't wear you out like night classes in college, either, so you won't have to worry about keeping a schedule that wears you down and leaves you too tired to really live your life.

Getting started immediately after high school means that by the time autumn rolls around and your old classmates are just settling into dorm life, you could be starting an actual broadcasting career, fully immersed in the industry and beginning your life as a radio DJ. Even if you start off with a late show or working another position at your station before being promoted, it still beats writing essays or flipping burgers. Broadcasting school can get you where you want to be in life before anyone you know is even really on their way.
